What do you do when something happens by accident? You pretend you planned it that way! This is my Moss Garden. Yep, I planned it that way. Well, not really. Ok, so it’s really what I refer to as my Secret Garden, but it is so shady and has been so damp this year that it has grown a really lovely carpet of moss.

I had often wanted to try to get moss to grow in this area and now it’s happening naturally. I’m liking it. It has spread to the Fairy Garden area by the back yard gate.

I have thought about putting some slate stones in these area and that would look nice with the moss growing around them. Maybe someday I’ll get around to doing that....

This is my first year trying lima beans. I counted exactly three this morning. There are several flowers on the vine, though, so I’m hoping for more. These were planted from seed: Burpee’s Best Pole Lima Beans.

About Me

I'm a graphic designer who happens to love to garden. This is my garden journal. I am not a gardening expert, just an addict. What I learn comes from books and classes I take. I garden in zone 7A on a property that is less than a quarter of an acre. I've been gardening on this property since 2005.
